What was the incident with the bat boy threatening players ?
Somehow I see Pujols talking about a corked bat. But I didn't see what happened where the bat boy apparently threatened Leonoes' 3rd baseman, Junior Caminero

2 different incidents:

Batboy:
Over the course of the series, the Licey batboy was shouting the Escogido players during innings. On Game 4 of the Finals, benches cleared was shouting Junior Caminero (the current MVP of the season). LIDOM intervened and both Escogido and Licey authorities sat to negotiate. LIDOM added more security and two refs nearby the benches if any other cases appeared.

Corked bat:
On Game 6, after Gustavo Nuñez gave an iconic homerun for Licey's victory, Pujols claimed the bat to be reviewed. The controversy was the bat wasn't checked by LIDOM authorities until the next day. And they sent a press release saying the bat wasn't corked.

I saw video of them chopping a bat with a machete. But who knows if it was his game bat?
